There are three gardens that are most convenient for visiting Beijing: one is Zhongshan Park, one is the Working People's Cultural Palace, and the other is Jingshan Park. These three attractions are located in the center of Beijing, around the Forbidden City, and after seeing the Forbidden City, you can take a tour. And the ticket is cheap, Jingshan Park 2 yuan, the Working People's Cultural Palace and Zhongshan Park 3 yuan, probably symbolic bar.
Zhongshan Park is located west of Tiananmen, east of Zhongnanhai, north of Chang'an Avenue, and south of the Moat of the Forbidden City. If the Forbidden City is like a "by" word, Zhongshan Park is on the right shoulder of the word "by". Zhongshan Park and the Working People's Cultural Palace are on the left and right of the Tiananmen-Noon gate passage, together with the word "by" in the Forbidden City, to form a rectangular area from south to north.
First visited here, thirty years ago. At that time, I was young, yearning for infinity, and I was particularly interested in everything. Go to Beijing for business, make full use of every spare time, visit the famous attractions of the ancient capital of Beijing, and naturally see Zhongshan Park. The years are long, the past is like smoke, and now that I know the Destiny of Heaven, I have only some vague impressions of the scene at that time, and I remember looking at the Zhongshan Hall, feeling that in addition to the pavilions and water pavilions in the garden, there are many flowers and many tourists' activities.
This time, I traveled west from the Noon Gate, bought a ticket at the east gate of Zhongshan Park, and watched the scenery from north to south. At this time, I already knew that Zhongshan Park not only had the south gate facing Chang'an Avenue, but also had the east and west gates, and each gate could be entered and exited.
Zhongshan Park is named "Zhongshan", which is naturally to commemorate Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the great forerunner of China's democratic revolution. After mr. Sun's death, the coffin was temporarily located here. In the middle of the garden, there is a tall bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen, a majestic Zhongshan Hall, and a display of the life deeds of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.
Zhongshan Park and the Working People's Cultural Palace were once the places of royal worship during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The so-called "Left Ancestor Right Shrine", that is, on the left side of the Forbidden City is the Taimiao Temple dedicated to the ancestors, and on the right is the Altar of the Shrine dedicated to the god of land and grain. Entering the modern society, the Taimiao Temple has been changed to the Working People's Cultural Palace, and the ShejiTan Temple has been changed to Zhongshan Park, which not only reflects the changes of the times, but also explains the great changes in the spirit of the times.
Naturally, as a historical and cultural point, this garden retains many cultural relics, providing us with a real and rich knowledge base for us to understand ancient times, understand feudal society, and understand royal life. In front of the Zhongshan Hall, the altar of Sheji is made of stones, and according to the five directions of east, west, south, north and middle, there are five colors of blue, red, white, black and yellow soil transported from all over the motherland, reflecting the concept of sacred land. Ancient emperors came here every year in February and August to perform ritual sacrifices.
The garden has many precious relics left over from ancient times, some of which have been collected from elsewhere. For example, the Xi Li Pavilion with hexagonal tips and red door yellow tiles was moved from Hongxu Temple, and the ancient ministers learned etiquette in front of the pavilion before visiting the imperial capital. The eight-pillar pavilion of lanting with eight-corner green tiles and external corridors was originally a scene of the Yuanmingyuan, and there were stone carvings "Lanting Xiuyu Map" in the pavilion, and the eight stone pillars were engraved with Chu Suiliang, Feng Chengsu and others who wrote Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface" and the handwriting of the Qianlong Emperor. The lifelike stone lion outside the gate of the Sheji Altar is a relic of the Song Dynasty that was transferred from the Daimyo of Hebei. A huge strange stone "Qing Lotus Flower", Nanzong Gaozong was very fond of, the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty ordered people to transport back to Beijing, this stone experienced the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty and the fire disaster of the British and French allies, witnessed the rise and fall of the Song and Qing dynasties.
In the garden, there are also many landscapes built by the Republic of China and contemporary times. For example, Tang Huawu, one pavilion after two corridors, like a swallow with wings spread. This pavilion looks like a spire, but it is actually a dome, because the upper tip is flat. "Tang" is pronounced "煻", which means baking, indicating that this place is originally a greenhouse for raising flowers. Nowadays, there are flower fairs here all year round. There are also water pavilions, green trees and shadows, colorful pavilions near the pool, winding paths, back to the railing to offer skill, through the middle, will be leisurely. There are flowers and plants in the garden, and there are long corridors that are folded horizontally and vertically. Standing in front of the Defense of Peace Square and looking east, you will find that the Tiananmen Tower is impressive, and there is only one wall away from it.
Zhongshan Park, the connection between ancient and modern, allows us to reminisce about the past in traditional culture and see the future from modern thinking.
